when riding a shortboard, do you use your rails to hold onto so you can pop up? Or do you place your hands under your chest to perform your pop up.

hmm, I've been using the rails...
But I've watched a video on youtube saying that it slows you down, or something like that.
They advised placing your arms under your chest.

put your hands on the board its faster. lean on your arms til your front foot is placed then push up off your hands once both your feet are placed

I rest my palms on the top of the rails - like going to grip the rails for a duck dive, but not doing the gripping bit !
You know what I mean !
[ Doing this makes it mega fast to grab the board to back out the top of a closeout or to stop going for the wave for whatever reason ]
